They just need someone to be cruel to. When they’ll get the robots they’ll realize they prefer the human slaves.
Billions of funding gets poured into creating machines that can experience suffering
They’ll continue to “care” about it because it’s ultimately about courting evangelicals, who very reliably vote and are often swayed by that issue alone
And are the stupidest fuckers around.
You’ve got to remember that these are just simple farmers. These are people of the land. The common clay of the new West. You know… morons.
Yes, but it’s not just about courting evangelicals (and other religious fascists)… The “issue” was artificially manufactured and promoted for this exact purpose.
